Life

Elizabeth Childs Owens was born in Georgia on 3 November 1814, a daughter of John N. Owens and his wife Elizabeth, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives the date without an attached source.1 On 27 November 1834, in Meriwether County, Georgia, as Elizabeth C. Owens, she married George Dunson.2 The tree names nine children, born between 1836 and 1853: Arianna Matilda, Louisa S., William, John Newton, Lucy Elizabeth, Lucinda Virginia, George W. Jr., Susan Henrietta and Martha R. Dunson.3 Inference The names Arianna, Louisa and Susan repeat those of her sisters Aryann, Louisa and Susan Owens.3 In 1840 the Dunsons were in District 697 of Troup County, Georgia, the district where her sister Louisa White's family was living in 1850.4 By 1860 they had moved to Alabama, where the census lists Elizabeth Dunson in George W. Dunson's household in the Northern Division of Chambers County.5 Her husband died near Milltown, Chambers County, on 19 November 1866, and she died at Milltown on 24 June 1868; she was buried in the Mount Hickory Cemetery in Chambers County, where her Find a Grave memorial names her Elizabeth Childs Owens Dunson.6 The tree also attaches to her an entry for an "Eliza Owens" in the household of a John Owens in Lauderdale County, Alabama, in the census of 1850.7 Inference Since she had been Mrs. Dunson for sixteen years by 1850, that entry is very probably another woman and is not used here.7
